It was my first visit for dinner. There were 3 of us and we ordered a combination of small plates, main dishes and dessert. We also had a cocktail each and the bill came to around £180.
The outstanding dishes for us were the rock salt prawns which were juicy and delicious. The crab tostadas were great, as were the crispy potatoes. The short rib and butternut squash dishes were ok. But the star was the burnt cheesecake which was absolutely divine!! The cocktails also deserve a mention. I loved the Spicy cocktail which was definitely spicy, strong and delicious.
Would definitely recommend a visit, although there is not much of a choice for non meat eaters who also dislike seafood. Yes, they exist! Otherwise , I loved it and would definitely visit again .
From the tantalizing sizzle of the robata grill to the exquisite flavors of locally sourced ingredients, @Ixchel.London wowed us at every bite! The hand-dived scallops were a sea-born delight, the pork belly tacos a fusion masterpiece, and the short ribs… pure bliss! The menu’s crowned jewels! And let’s talk drinks – the margaritas from ‘The Lost’ were a zesty paradise, while the Chilli Old Fashioned brought the perfect fiery twist! ️ Can’t wait to dive back into this gastronomic adventure! Already counting down the days till my return!
Portions? Shockingly generous for Chelsea. They’re not playing the tiny-plate-for-big-money game here.
The standout hits:
• Pork tacos: packed, juicy, no dead space in the tortilla.
• Prawn quesadillas: ridiculous. Rich, cheesy, loaded with prawns, and basically impossible to share politely.
• Ribeye steak – fantastic. Proper flavour, proper char, not the usual overpriced disappointment London throws at you.
And the finale: the burnt Basque cheesecake. The cherry on top – creamy, smoky, and genuinely the kind of dessert you regret agreeing to share.
Bottom line: Ixchel nails atmosphere on both floors, serves big portions, and delivers dishes that aren’t just pretty, they’re actually worth eating. Perfect for a loud, sunny group meal upstairs or a darker, close-conversation night downstairs.
The staff were a bit strange in how they treated us, not the best customer service. They also charged us one extra still water which if we haven’t looked at the bill, we would have been missed and overcharged. They happily removed it from the bill but not the best experience.
Also, portions are very small for the amount you pay!
The star of the show was the beautifully set vibe of the whole restaurant, but the food was equally impressive. The shrimp tacos was my favorite personally and the crab tostadas was my partner’s. We also got a t-bone with a side of potatoes and fresh, warm tortillas which we definitely recommend – meat was very tender, juicy, and seasoned.
Has become my favorite Mexican restaurant in London but is a little bit on the pricier side if you’re looking to get a casual bite.
